Ms Fiji Universal 2019.

Greetings to all the readers, to those of you who may not know who I am, my name is Navneeta Hinz and I have the honour of representing Fiji in the 2019 Ms Universal Pageant. I would like to share a moment about myself, as to the woman that I am today. My hometown is Lautoka, Fiji, like most I grew up living with extended family and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I moved to Australia in 1996 with my family and started another journey. I have lived a very privileged lifestyle growing up in Australia, I have had the opportunity of an incredible education, I graduated university with a Bachelor of International Business majoring in Economics and International Business, travelled with my family, have accomplished many goals I otherwise would not have been able to achieve.

I have a successful career working for a privately-owned company as a Client Alliance Advisor. This does not mean that I have not had any personal struggles. Personally, I struggled a lot, mostly through my university years as while I was trying to figure out where I fitted in this world, who I was compared to who I was supposed to be. I want to use my personal experience to encourage younger generation to overcome their personal challenges. This is one of my reasons for accepting the title as Ms Fiji Universal 2019.

The Universal Pageant has been established as an organisation that prides itself with high integrity, values, resilience and charitable work with the community. It encourages women to go beyond their aspirations and achieve a higher standard for themselves. It gives them the opportunity to represent who they are and what each individual stands for whilst providing a platform to achieve their goals. I want to use this platform to support, guide and encourage others to step out and be he best they can be, be successful in their own way. I want to show them the importance of education and how it can help as a way to achieve their personal goals.

I truly believe that the women I am today is because of my heritage, strong multicultural upbringing by my parents, education, my community involvement and guidance from many people around me. I hope to make you all proud as I set out on this journey. If you would like to know more and show your support, please see my contact details as per below.
